Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 cup mini marshmallows
- 1.5 cups crushed salted pretzels
- 0.5 cup peanuts (roasted and unsalted)
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
Line an 8x8-inch baking dish with parchment paper, allowing some overhang for easy removal later. Set it aside.
In a medium-sized saucepan over low heat, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips, creamy peanut butter, and honey. Stir continuously until the mixture is melted and smooth, about 3-4 minutes.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
Add the mini marshmallows, crushed pretzels, and roasted peanuts to the saucepan. Stir until all the ingredients are evenly coated in the chocolate-peanut butter mixture.
Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly and pressing it down gently with a spatula to compact it.
Refrigerate the dish for at least 1 hour, or until the mixture is firm and set.
Once set, use the parchment paper overhang to lift the block out of the baking dish. Place it on a cutting board and slice into 12 equal squares or bars.
Store the Chocolate Peanutties in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week. Serve chilled or at room temperature and enjoy!
